You Are Your Mother's Child Lyrics

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red& yellow,black & white
they're precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Jesus cares for all the children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus cares for the children of the world

Jesus came to save the children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus came to save the children of the world

Jesus came to save the children of the world

You Are Your Mother's Child

Oberst adopts on this song the perspective of a contrite father, proud of his child's accomplishments despite his own shortcomings as a dad. "I definitely struggled with whether to put that one on the record," Oberst told Billboard magazine. "It has more sentimentality to it than any of the other songs, but I've seen a lot of friends go through that stuff. [Having kids] would be a cool thing to do someday. I don't particularly feel ready for it right now, but I guess no one ever does."

The song's music video was filmed on Fire Island, which is the 32-mile-long island that stretches south of New York's Long Island. Popular with the gay community, The Village People paid tribute to the location on their 1977 song "Fire Island."

River Deep, Mountain High Lyrics

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do I love you my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

'Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And I love you baby river deep mountain high

River Deep, Mountain High

This was written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, and Phil Spector. Greenwich and Barry were a husband and wife songwriting team who had written hits like "Hanky Panky" and "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." Spector was a legendary producer famous for his "Wall Of Sound" recording technique, which he had used with great success on other songs he worked on with Greenwich and Barry, including hits by The Ronettes and The Crystals. Greenwich, Barry and Spector each had separate ideas for songs which they combined to form this, and melody is a composite of 3 different unfinished songs.

It had been over a year since Spector had produced a hit record, and he went all out on this. When it flopped in America, he was shocked and very upset. He announced his retirement, went into seclusion and stopped working until 1970, when he returned to the studio to work on The Beatles Let It Be album and produce solo works by George Harrison and John Lennon.

This was written specifically for Tina Turner to sing. Spector was sure her powerful vocals would help make this a hit.

Although this is credited to Ike And Tina Turner, Ike had no part in the recording process. Phil Spector wanted his own people to record this, and made sure Ike was not in the studio during the sessions.

Bob Krasnow, the then president of the Blue Thumb label, for whom Ike and Tina recorded in the late 1960s, was interviewed in Rolling Stone magazine (issue 93) in 1971. He recalled how Phil Spector, who'd been won over by Ike and Tina's work as a substitute act in the rock and roll film T'N'T Show hooked up with the Turners: "Spector had just lost The Righteous Brothers, and at the same time, Ike was unhappy (having switched to Kent Records). Spector's attorney Joey Cooper called and said Phil wanted to produce Tina - and that he was willing to pay $20,000 in front to do it! So Mike Maitland [then president at Warners] gave them their release, and they signed with Philles (Phil Spector's record label.)"

Spector offered $20,000 upfront to Ike Turner in exchange for total control over the production. He happily counted the money and agreed to stay away from the sessions, even though his name still appeared on the record. When it flopped in America, though Spector was distraught, Ike wasn't, as it meant the end of their association and put him back in charge.

In Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs, Tina Turner is quoted as saying of the recording of this, "I must have sung that 500,000 times. I was drenched with sweat. I had to take my shirt off and stand there in my bra to sing."

Spector used over 20 top session musicians for the recording, including Hal Blaine, Leon Russell and Glen Campbell. The completed record cost around $22,000, at the time an unbelievable price tag for a single. On bass for these sessions was Carol Kaye, who told us, "It felt like another thing that was going to be a hit, but to walk in the booth and there's a ton of people in the booth and there's a ton of us out in the studio, it almost felt like a party. And you know that something that feels like a party is not going to be a hit record. It's not the feeling of sitting down and cutting a record, which is business. You've got to take care of business.

But the arrangement was nice and the feeling was good and Tina was there to sing. I'm sure that they put her voice on again after that. So I thought it was going to be another hit, but that's the feeling that was on the date to me. It didn't quite feel like a normal record date." (Here's our full interview with Carol Kaye .)

In 1995, Spector agreed to produce a version of this with Celine Dion. The sessions were a disaster, and her version from these sessions was never released.

Other versions have been recorded by The Animals, Deep Purple, and Neil Diamond. Darlene Love recorded a version in 2004 for a Tina Turner tribute album called What's Love.

The actor Dennis Hopper did the photo for the cover of the River Deep, Mountain High album. Krasnow recalled in the same Rolling Stone interview: "Dennis Hopper did the cover on that LP. He was broke on his ass in Hollywood and trying photography. He said he'd like to do the cover. He took us to this sign company, where there was this 70-foot high sign for a movie, with one of those sex stars - Boccaccio '70 or something. And he shot them in front of that big teardrop. Then the gas company had a big sign, and Hopper took them there and shot them in front of a big burner."

The Supremes and Four Tops recorded this for the 1970 album The Magnificent 7, their version charting at #14 in the US. It was produced by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. It was the first hit that the Supremes had with the Four Tops, a pairing inspired by the Supremes success with the Temptations before Diana Ross went solo. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA)

From Here to the Moon and Back Lyrics

From Here to the Moon and Back

Dolly Parton originally recorded and performed this song with Kris Kristofferson in the 2012 movie Joyful Noise. The following year, she re-recorded the tune with Willie Nelson. This version can be found on both Nelson's 2013 album, To All the Girls.... and Parton's 2014 set Blue Smoke.

Parton first met Nelson in her early days in Nashville. She told Billboard magazine: "We came here at about the same time. He had short hair, shaved, looked just like a dork. You'd never in a million years think he would have turned out to look like he does. We both started writing for Fred Foster at Combine Music and Monument Records."

"Our careers kind of went hand in hand, from Monument to RCA, and we kept sitting around, singing each other songs that we had written over the years," Parton continued. "We did an album and TV Show called Winning Hand a few years ago where we sang some stuff together, He just stayed a good friend, and when he got ready to do his album with all the girls he loved before, he asked me if I would sing on it."

Dolly told Uncut magazine: "I love Willie. I love that old funky sound he gets on that guitar. But he's very hard to sing with because of his phrasing. It was like an exercise of some sort, like trying to catch him with all his little phrases and all. But it was a joy, and I'm glad we did it."

The Boys of Summer Lyrics

Nobody on the road,
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Don't know you're not home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After The Boys of Summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
I don't understand what happened to our love
But, baby, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And you're smiling at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said
Don't look back, you can never look back
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let 'em go, but

I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that top pulled down,
And that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that hair slicked back,
And those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

The Boys of Summer

This is about looking back on a past relationship and wanting your ex back - wanting to return to what you had. The first verse depicts how the writer is left behind. His ex has moved on but he hasn't and still hangs onto hope: "But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of / those days are gone forever I should just let them go but..." At first he is hanging onto hope but then he realizes that he must let go. The "Boys of Summer" could refer to the boys his ex is now seeing, and how they are just summer flings, while he is in it for the long haul.

Don Henley told the NME that he really did see a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. Said the Eagles frontman: "I was driving down the San Diego freeway and got passed by a $21,000 Cadillac Seville, the status symbol of the Right-wing upper-middle-class American bourgeoisie – all the guys with the blue blazers with the crests and the grey pants – and there was this Grateful Dead 'Deadhead' bumper sticker on it!"

The opening lyrics ("Nobody on the roads, nobody on the beach") refer to the California coast as summer turns into fall. It becomes a much quieter place when the weather gets cold.

The title comes from a baseball book by Roger Kahn called Boys of Summer. The book is about The Brooklyn Dodgers, who broke the hearts of their fans when they moved to Los Angeles.

The music was written by Mike Campbell, who worked with Tom Petty as a guitarist and producer for many years. He has also written tracks for many songs, including "Refugee," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," and "Don't Do Me Like That." Campbell offered this to Petty, but he turned it down and the song went to Henley, who wrote the lyrics. Campbell also played guitar on this and produced it.

Mike Campbell told us about recording this song: "I used to have a 4-track machine in my house and I had just gotten a drum machine - it's when the Roger Linn drum machine first came out. I was playing around with that and came up with a rhythm. I made the demo on my little 4-track and I showed it to Tom, but at the time, the record we were working on, Southern Accents, it didn't really sound like anything that would fit into the album. The producer we were working with at the time, Jimmy Iovine, called me up one day and said he had spoken with Don, who I'd never met, and said that he was looking for songs. He gave me his number and I called him up and played it for him and he called me the next day and said he put it on in his car and had written these words and wanted to record it. That's kind of how it started. Basically, he wanted to recreate the demo as close as we could. We ended up changing the key for the voice. We actually cut it in one key, did the whole record with overdubs and everything, and then he decided to change the key like a half step up or something, we had to do the whole record again, but it turned out pretty good."

The video for this song was the big winner at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards, just the second year the awards were held. It won for Video of the Year, Best Director, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography.

The director was Jean-Baptiste Mondino, a French graphic designer/photographer who had made a video for the song "Cargo de Nuit" by a French singer named Axel Bauer. Mondino sent that video to Jeff Ayeroff, an executive at Henley's label, Geffen Records. Ayeroff flew Mondino to California and had him meet with Henley, who was baffled by the pitch but decided to go with it and let Mondino do his thing.

Speaking about his connection to the song in the book I Want My MTV, Mondino said: "I was living in Paris, and we were into a new era, more modern. But I couldn't refuse to go to LA - it was like a dream. When I got there, I was very disappointed, because there's a big difference between what I saw when I was a kid in the beautiful old Hollywood movies, and what LA's actually about. When I listened to 'Boys Of Summer,' there was something nostalgic - he was looking back, talking about something that he's leaving behind. The '70s were dying."

Shot in black and white, (as were many of Mondino's videos), it was artistic and abstract. When Henley accepted the award for Best Video at the VMAs, he admitted to having no idea what was going on when they shot the clip, but said that Mondino and his crew made "Southern California look like the South of France." Getting Henley to show up to an awards show was no easy feat - when The Eagles won the Album of the Year Grammy for Hotel California, Henley and the rest of the band skipped the ceremony.

The Ataris did a cover of this in 2003. Mike Campbell's thoughts on their version: "I like it a lot. My son's 15, he has a punk band and he was excited about it. I thought it took some balls to try that song, it's not a song you expect a young band like that to do, but I kind of like their version of it. I listened to it closely and noticed that they had done a lot of the guitar parts and they had changed a little bit but not a whole lot. I like the way the guy sang it, they changed one lyric and I thought that was cool. I heard it on the radio three times in one day and I got kind of excited about it." (Read more in our interview with Mike Campbell.)

In The Ataris version, instead of saying "I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac" they say "I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac." Black Flag is a hardcore punk band that Henry Rollins fronted. (thanks, Eric - Philia, PA)

The Ataris played their version of this at the 2003 Home Run Derby. ESPN used the song in various promos for the event. It may have been the last time one of Henley's songs was used on the network. A short time later, ESPN hired conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as a football analyst. Henley can't stand Limbaugh, and has refused to license his songs to ESPN ever since they put him on the air.

In 2010, Henley won a lawsuit against Chuck Devore, who was running for a US Senate seat in California. Devore - a Republican - used "The Boys of Summer" and "All She Wants to do is Dance" in his campaign advertising, which didn't go over well with Henley. A California judge didn't buy Devore's defense that he was making "fair use" of the songs. Devore didn't get the nomination, finishing third in the Republican primary. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

MTV exposure from this song's video raised Henley's profile but cost him a degree of anonymity. With the Eagles, he was tucked away behind a drum kit, and rarely on TV. Only one video was made for his first album - that was "Johnny Can't Read," and MTV rarely played it. Once "The Boys of Summer" got in hot rotation, Henley found himself suddenly recognizable, which often made him uncomfortable.

Ghost Of You And Me Lyrics

What am I supposed to do with all these blues
Haunting me
Everywhere no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will the night be over

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to fall
In love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love
It's robbery
I'm sleeping with the Ghost Of You And Me

Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by phantom ships
Lost as sea and one of them is mine
Raising my glass I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why the stars don't seem to guide me

[Chorus]

The ghost of you and me when will it set me free
I hear voices call following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go when will the night be over

[Chorus: x2]

Second Hand Life Lyrics

Second Hand Life

The title track of Joe Lynn Turner's tenth solo studio album, he wrote the song with Jim Peterik , who is best known for being a member and primary songwriter of the band Survivor.

Peterik has also co-written songs for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon and The Beach Boys. Turner explained in track-by-track comments: "This is a song that came out of the Deep Purple sessions with Jim Peterik in Roger Glover's studio. Jim was brought in to commercialise the band in the same way that Def Leppard and Aerosmith were reviving themselves at the time. Peterik is an amazing writer, as witnessed by his hit band Survivor."

The song title was inspired by a booklet that writer/producer Desmond Child gave Turner when he was living in a commune in the States. Turner explained: "The song talks about how most people live a second hand life that sets out to please our parents, so we often never become ourselves. We end up trying to be what society and parents want us to be so we really are never free to be ourselves!!! It's as if our lives are being passed down like an old pair of shoes. This song rebels against this concept as if to say cut the strings be who you want to be. A very strong statement!" (thanks for above, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation)

Too late to hide
And too tired to care
Take what you've learned
And forget the rest
Take what you see
Of what's left of me
You know where I've been
And I don't want to go there again

[Chorus:]
You're beautiful, you're confusing
You're illogical, you're amazing
And I've seen the world
It's overrated
Until you're everything
I have nothing
But an Empty Space

And I've been down
This road before
All that I've found
Points me right back to you
And I've watched you move
From down below
Where do I go from here
I guess I'll find out as I go

[Chorus]
You're beautiful, you're confusing
You're illogical, you're amazing
And I've seen the world
It's overrated
Until you're everything
I have nothing
But an empty space

Lead singer Jason Wade:
"This is about the good and the bad, the struggle between beauty and darkness and how they're intertwined. What keeps relationships together is often what drives them apart. I've managed to find a niche of writing where I can take something from my own perspective and give it to a broad audience, where they can get something completely different from it than I do. That's the beauty of music it's a universal language, something people can relate to their own lives." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Gettin' a message? A message for me
I'm caught up in love, and I'm in ecstasy
What can I do now, when nothing's the same?
And all that I know, I wanna do it again
Life is so simple when you are with me
'Cause when we're together, I'm in ecstasy
I'm in ecstasy
I'm in ecstasy
I'm in ecstasy

Everybody go!
All you pretty things, get on board this mothership
All you've got to be is ready for action, baby

Don't think I'm twisted, as a matter of fact
Welcome me now to the second act
I fought off robots, and a man in a suit
Wear off the soles of your monkey boots
I can't get enough of the sunshine
I can't get enough of the moonlight
And all the colours that are coming on strong
Trying to hold on
Trying to move on
Can't get enough of the oceans
Can't get enough of the mantra
All we will ever be is ecstasy
We're in ecstasy
We're in ecstasy
We're in ecstasy

Everybody go!
All you pretty things, get on board this mothership
All you've got to be is ready for action, baby

I can't get enough of the sunshine
I can't get enough of the moonlight
And all the colours that are coming on strong
Trying to hold on
Trying to move on
Can't get enough of the oceans
Can't get enough of the mantra
All we will ever be is ecstasy
We're in ecstasy
We're in ecstasy
We're in ecstasy

Everybody go!
All you pretty things, get on board this mothership
All you've got to be is ready for action, baby
Ready for action, baby
Ready for action, baby

Bumblebeee

This was the first track that Kasabian songwriter and guitarist Serge Pizzorno had for 48:13, having come up with a melody after going to Damon Albarn's Africa Express at Granary Square in London in September 2012. It was debuted by the band in Paris on April 30, 2014 at the first warm-up gig for their tour, and performed on Later…With Jools Holland on May 13, 2014. (thanks to The Kasabian Wiki .)

This call to arms is about Kasabian's connection with their fans. Pizzorno told NME: "I didn't have a name and my little boy Ennio called it 'Busy Bee.' I thought he said 'bumblebee' and thought, 'That's an amazing title.' Humans can't exist without bumblebees, and the song's about the fans and about us joining together and reaching a higher state with them - our fans are our bumblebees. Without them we're f---ed. without their pollinating flowers, we're done."

Asked by Q magazine to describe the song Pizzorno said: "It comes from the dance tent and how right they get it. I love that moment where you time something to perfection. It's such an art...when you get a crowd to a point and they're like, 'Just please f---ing do it.'"

"And Bumblebee is about the fans," he added. "Lyrically, I was so much more direct. So there's a moment in that song where I scream as loud as I can, 'Everybody go!'"

Here are a few bumblebee fun facts from The Encyclopedia of Trivia :

Bumblebees have smelly feet and leave a scent on the flower they visit to tell other bees there is no other nectar left.

Bumblebees don't have ears. They pick up vibrations through their bodies.

Bumblebees can fly at up to 30mph. The buzz is produced by their flight muscles.

The world's smallest mammal is the bumblebee bat of Thailand, weighing less than a penny.

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
This time you burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take Me Away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

I try to make my way to you
But still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet
Don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
But don't let
Me stay here alone

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
I've seen enough and it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say

Bartender Lyrics

8 o’clock on Friday night I’m still at home
All my girls just keep on blowing up my phone
Saying come on, he ain't worth the pain
Do what you gotta do to forget his name
Now there’s only one thing left for me to do
Slip on my favorite dress and sky high leather boots
Check the mirror one last time
And kiss the past goodbye

What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
'Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey Bartender pour 'em hot tonight
'Til the party and music and the truth collide
Bring it 'til his memory fades away
Hey bartender

Tonight I’ll let a stranger pull me on the floor
Spin me round and let 'em buy a couple more
But before it goes too far
I'll let him down easy
'Cause tonight it’s all about
Dancing with my girls to the DJ
Put that song on replay

What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
'Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey bartender pour 'em hot tonight
'Til the party and music and the truth collide
Bring it 'til his memory fades away
Hey bartender

I’m feeling that buzz I’m ready to rock
Ain’t no way I’m gonna tell you to stop
So pour that thing up to the top
I’m coming in hot

Hey bartender

What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
'Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey bartender pour 'em hot tonight
'Til the party and music and the truth collide
Bring it 'til his memory fades away
Hey bartender, hey bartender

Bartender

This uptempo cut is about a brokenhearted woman washing her former lover's memory away with whiskey on a wild girls' night out. The song was released as the first single from Lady Antebellum's fifth album. "I think it's always cool when you can capture what feels like a fun track where the lyrics are a little darker," the band's Charles Kelley told The Tennessean newspaper. "You really listen to the lyrics. It's definitely a head-bobber, but then you kind of listen and you're like, 'Man, this girl is talking about literally drinking the pain away.' I think those songs are cool when you can have that juxtaposition."

The song features Hillary Scott as the lead vocalist. She told The Tennessean: "As a female, I love the fact that it's not this song about her [saying], 'My hearts been broken, it's so sad, he did me wrong.' It's not about going and rebounding with some other guy. She's just going out with her friends and having a night to forget about what this dude just did to her. I love that as a woman, kind of taking the reins in a situation and getting over it in a fun way."

The song was written by the Lady A trio with Rodney Clawson (Florida Georgia Line's "Get Your Shine On," Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party"). It was produced by Taylor Swift's regular producer Nathan Chapman. Lady A's Dave Heywood said: "The song, 'Bartender,' actually started with a title Charles had on his phone, and a little idea I had on my phone, and we pulled 'em all out. It was one of the last writing sessions we had on the road for this record."

"You know, we want to have songs that people can get lost in and come out and get lost in the noise of the crowd and these kinds of songs, and it just feels like one of those songs that can stand up in a big venue," he added. "We wanted to try to create something like that, and it's fun. I think anybody's been out where you want to go out and get lost because of something you've been going through and forget about what's been going on, and so that's part of the inspiration too for 'Bartender.'"

The song's music video was shot in Los Angeles in May 2014 and directed by Shane Drake (Paramore, Kelly Clarkson, Fall Out Boy). The visual features Kate Upton (The Other Woman, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Model) and Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development) in a drink-off.

"I think we definitely captured the spirit of the song, but we also threw in some unexpected twists that the fans will love," Charles Kelley said of the clip. "Kate and Tony took what could have been just another music video to a really cool place. I mean, pretty much every guy in America is in love with Kate Upton. And if I'm being totally honest, Dave and I now both have a little man-crush on Tony too…he's hilarious! Hands-down my favorite video we've ever done."

My Precious Lyrics

Can't hold you down
Can I be you
There's nothing I can do
A slave to your hands

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Where did you go?
Where did you hide?
All I can do
Is watch you pass by

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Every time I try to take it back
I know I don't wanna live like that
I'll wait for tomorrow
Too tired to go the other way
Too late to wait another day
I'm going on

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

My Precious

Lead singer Jason Wade:
"This is my favorite song on the record. We were working on "Spin," and I just went in the other room and wrote it. Ron (their producer) heard me playing it and said "Let's record it." We recorded it right after I wrote it. The band had never even heard the song we just rolled tape and it clicked. It was the coolest thing. I'd like to do a whole record that way because what came out was so pure. We had no idea how it was going to turn out. It instantly took on a life of its own, which was amazing."
